Physiotherapy FAQ
Yes. Physiotherapy is covered by ACC for eligible personal injuries sustained in New Zealand — including sports injuries, workplace injuries, motor vehicle accidents and other accidents. WYLD Clinic is an ACC registered physiotherapy provider. Our team can register and manage your claim in-house at your first appointment — no GP referral needed.
No. You can book directly with our physiotherapy team without a GP referral. If your injury is ACC-eligible, we can register and manage your ACC claim in-house at your first visit — saving you the time and cost of a separate GP visit first.
Hands-on manual therapy — including therapeutic soft tissue work and massage — when delivered as part of a physiotherapy treatment plan for an ACC-covered injury may be included within your ACC claim. This is different from booking a standalone massage. If you have an injury and are wondering whether ACC could cover your treatment, come in and our team will assess your situation and advise you at your first appointment.
Your first appointment includes a thorough consultation, physical assessment and movement analysis. Your physiotherapist will explain their findings, discuss your goals and develop an individualised treatment plan. If you have an ACC-eligible injury, we'll register your claim in-house at this visit.
Our physiotherapists work with a wide range of presentations including sports injuries, back and neck pain, shoulder injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, workplace injuries, postural issues, headaches, pelvic pain during pregnancy, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. If you're unsure whether physiotherapy is right for your situation, contact us and we'll advise.
Dry needling involves the insertion of fine needles into myofascial trigger points to address muscle tension and movement restriction. It is a physiotherapy technique used alongside manual therapy and exercise prescription as part of a broader treatment plan — not a standalone treatment. If appropriate for your presentation, your physiotherapist will discuss this with you.
